In a post-apocalyptic world, shifters are trying to save the
remaining humanity but it feels as if the zombies are
winning, especially with the new faster breed of zombies,
the chimpanzombies. Dora, a medical doctor when Z-phage
epidemic broke out, is now a werewolf's mate and learning to
be a powerful witch, calling her abilities "witchamacallit".
But at every move, the curse of the BLOOD OF THE MOON keeps
coming back to haunt her.
Dora must get a DNA sample from the new faster zombies to
study. It's an easy fly in, fly out. Why is it that the
moment you need something to work it doesn't. Stranded away
from the sanctuary with thousands of zombies looking for
food, tankers looking for anything they can use and the
Benandanti werewolves wanting her dead have Dora struggling
to survive until her mate can save her. Or her powers return
and she can save the world.
BLOOD OF THE MOON is an action packed book that is filled
with so many surprises that will have you reading until the
end. Werewolves, Raven shifters, human doctors, witches,
shapeshifters and bad guy humans simply fill the pages. Then
there are the surprises that author Eva Gordon throws our
way and it just gets better and better. Some of the cuter
moments are along the lines of Dora's learning to be a
witch, she uses simple poetry to cast her spells, rides a
broom (or limb if a broom isn't available) and learns to
shift ... to a kitten, much to the bemusement of her wolf
mate.
Readers of Ms. Gordon's APOCALYPTIC
MOON and RAVEN
MOON will enjoy getting reacquainted with past
characters as we meet new friends and visit past foes. There
have been a lot of questions in those books that get
answered in this one. Who started Z-phage that produced the
zombies? Why are the remaining electronics going wonky of
late? Those will get answered along with a few other things
that I believe will amaze readers. Along those lines, I will
only say, if you like a touch of sci-fi mixed into your
paranormal then BLOOD OF THE MOON is perfect for you. I
can't tell you what that mixture is as I believe it would be
considered a spoiler but I was not expecting this at all.
If you want witches, shapeshifters, bad guys, evil guys and
gals, love, laughter and surprises then BLOOD OF THE MOON is
what you are looking for.
In a world ravished by zombies, animal shifters vow to
save
humanity. Dora, a medical doctor, a werewolf’s mate, and
a
powerful witch, is their best weapon against the undead.
Dora and her team leave the safety of their sanctuary to
obtain DNA samples of the new Z-phage variant.
The mission starts well until Dora discovers all her
witch
powers are gone. While escaping a fast-moving horde, a
vicious gang captures her. Their destination: Las Vegas
for
the zombie games. Dirk, Dora’s werewolf mate, desperately
searches for her. Can they survive the apocalypse, old
enemies, and an unknown force that continues to rob
humans
of technology?
Excerpt
Dora stared at the stadium, now only a crater. She had
joined Cathy at a football game there. In the beginning
of the zombie plague, stadiums contained the infected.
This one had been bombed, but too late.
On the ground, there must be a half a million zombies.
Was Cathy one of them? Aimlessly looking for warm human
flesh, her soul trapped in monstrous limbo.
“Ready?” shouted Falco.
Dora stood with her broom at the opened door.
Rave gave him the thumbs up. She leapt off and in seconds
shifted into raven form. She cawed and did her usual
aerial acrobatics. Show off.
Before Dora jumped, Dirk grabbed her and kissed her. “See
you before sundown, babe.”
“Sooner,” she shouted and then leapt off. As the plane
flew off, she soared on her broom. “Charge.” The cold
breeze whipped the hood off her head, sending her long
tresses flying behind her like a comet’s tail.
Dora turned to look at the plane, now a distant dot. Rave
cawed and circled over a tall building. A place to land.
Good. Her airsickness hijacked her stomach and nearly
overpowered her.
Dora tightened her grip on the broom handle. “Okay. Witch
light speed.”
The broom faltered and slowed to ten miles an hour. Then
slower.
Huh? Of all her witchy powers, flight had been her most
reliable skill.
